# Bluetalon

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/bluetalon/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

BlueTalon was a data-centric security company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Redwood City, California, that provided centralized data access control, dynamic data masking, and policy enforcement across big-data and hybrid data environments (Hadoop, Spark, relational databases, and cloud data stores). Its platform let enterprises define and enforce fine-grained authorization, auditing, and data- protection policies from a single control point. BlueTalon was backed by DCVC (Data Collective) among other investors, and was acquired by Microsoft in 2019, with its technology folded into Microsoft's Azure data-governance and security portfolio. The company no longer operates independently: bluetalon.com is no longer resolvable and the GitHub organization retains only archived, deprecated repositories. This profile is retained as a network record of an acquired provider; there is no live public API surface to enrich.
